    "A very good self-driving experience, the weather was very good that day, and there were many tourists. The blue sky and white clouds reflected in the lake, and the green grass on the shore was green. This scene should only be in the sky, and somehow it will be on the world. I took a lot of photos and I couldn't have fun."

    "The mysterious "Tianshan Grand Canyon" is a canyon in the Tianshan branch of the Keqilia Mountain, formed by red-brown rocks after hundreds of millions of years of wind and rain. The red-brown mountain group of "Tianshan Grand Canyon" is directly inserted into the sky, and under the sun, it is like a cluster of burning flames. The fascinating aspect of the "Tianshan Grand Canyon" lies not only in its majestic and precipitousness, but in its deepness, tranquility and mystery."

The terraces on both sides of the canyon can be clearly seen, which can be divided into at least 9 levels. In Dushanzi, the Kuitun River flows through the Dushanzi Grand Canyon. The canyon is nearly north-south. The ancient coins in the canyon are steep and steep. A typical view of the Grand Canyon. The alluvial gullies formed by the snow and rainwater flowing down from the Tianshan Mountains through the soil here carved out these strange landscapes on the valley walls. The canyon starts from the foot of the mountain and forms distinct layers of soil on the grassland. But the colors are mainly gray and black. There is a lot of snow in the canyon, but when passing through these soils, the water with sediment becomes very turbid.
